The trade brain.
One mind for global trade.

I'm the Vametra AI Brain — the trade operating system. Ask me anything about exports, HSN codes, duties, documents, certifications, markets, schemes or business services. I orchestrate 12 trade engines to give you one clear answer.

For HS 100630 (rice, semi-milled or wholly milled) from India to Vietnam:

1) Duty in Vietnam

• MFN import duty: 40%
• Preferential duty shown in the engine context: 0%

Practical note: whether the 0% preferential rate can be used depends on the actual tariff preference scheme and valid certificate of origin. For this lane, check if your shipment qualifies under the applicable Vietnam preference route before shipping.

2) Documents you should prepare

For a clean export from India to Vietnam, keep these core documents ready:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / AWB
• Certificate of Origin
• FTA / preferential origin certificate if claiming a lower duty rate
• Inspection / health certificate if required by the buyer or Vietnam authorities
• Letter of Credit (if payment is under LC)
• Insurance certificate

3) India-side compliance for the exporter

You should have:

• IEC (Import Export Code)
• GST registration
• RCMC if you want to claim DGFT export incentives
• Customs filing through ICEGATE

4) Benefits for exporting this product from India

• India is the world’s largest exporter of HS 100630 rice in the context provided, with about 34.8% share of global exports in 2024.
• RoDTEP benefit: 1.0% of FOB
• If your shipment qualifies for preferential access, Vietnam duty may be reduced from 40% to 0% under the applicable preference route.
• Rice is a globally traded product with strong demand in Asia; Vietnam is itself a major rice exporter, so this is a competitive but recognized trade lane.

5) What matters most for this lane

• Correct HS classification
• Valid origin documentation
• Matching product specs on invoice, packing list, and phytosanitary/health papers if required
• Careful checking of Vietnam import rules for food/agri goods, especially labeling, inspection, and buyer-specific requirements
